Please review this proposed patch to remove a redundant callback in the truetype native scaler code. The urgency for this removal comes from the fact that the callback occasionally falls foul of a race condition which leads to an NPE:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~adinn/8078654/webrev.00/ The problematic code is the same in JDK9, JDK8 and JDK7. Previous discussion with Phil Race (tentatively) confirmed that the removed callback is redundant: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/2d-dev/2015-January/005015.html Red Hat support staff subsequently identified the race condition: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/2d-dev/2015-April/005257.html regards, Andrew Dinn ----------- Senior Principal Software Engineer Red Hat UK Ltd Registered in UK and Wales under Company Registration No. 3798903 Directors: Michael Cunningham (USA), Matt Parson (USA), Charlie Peters (USA), Michael O'Neill (Ireland)
